Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has turned to the man who helped set 'The Special One' on the road to stardom in his first spell in the managerial hot seat.

And with both Mourinho and Drogba convinced that Chelsea are finally ready to break the Manchester stranglehold on the title, the 36-year-old striker is a man in a hurry after returning to his beloved Blues on a one-year deal.

Drogba is adamant he wants to play a full part as Chelsea go on the hunt for their first title since 2010 and vowed: "I'm not coming here to break records, I just want to win trophies.

"Five years is a long time not to win the Premier League, so I want to win it.

"To lift the Premier League trophy is a fantastic feeling and we haven't experienced it for a few years, it's too long for a club like ours."

Drogba has been grinning like a Cheshire cat since his comeback to his spiritual home was confirmed.

But the man who won the lot in his first stint at Stamford Bridge insists his second chance is about much more than the feel good factor.

He said: "The best thing I can bring to this club and team will be to stay the same as I was during my first spell here.

"I don't have to change, everybody knows my character, my attitude and my mentality. They know if I'm here it's not just to smile.

"I want to share my desire and will to win games. The squad is young but to get the best results you have to push yourself."

The dressing room personnel has certainly changed during Drogba's two years away with Shanghai Shenhua and, most recently, Galatasaray - not least with the departures fellow Chelsea legends Frank Lampard and Ashley Cole.

But Drogba is certainly impressed with Mourinho's trio of summer recruits in Cesc Fabregas, Diego Costa and Filipe Luis.

"It was very important for us to buy these players," said Drogba. "To have Cesc with us, I think he'll understand it's better to be with us than against us.

"I've been watching Diego play over the last few years.

"I like his character, he's solid, he can score goals and he's also technically gifted. He likes people to respect him and that's important."
